It is said t o mean “immortality and resistance”. The Shakers used the perennial Ta nsy as an insect repellent and for natural medicine. \nIn this 2 1/2-hour class students will learn the history and process of Botanical Drawing. It begins with gradual toning of simple geometric shapes that will turn into all the forms in nature. This process will make your piece three dimensio nal and pop off the page. We will begin our forms by layering neutral tone s and putting on top color with colored pencils. By the end of class parti cipants will have created their very own Tansy. \nPlease register online a t Eventbrite.com!
